Nominator Withdrawal - Based on the searches done by other editors, I can admit when I'm wrong. Someone please close this, Davey2010, DGG, Northamerica1000, anyone? Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:21, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable interchange. Was prodded (by me) with the following rationale: Another insignificant interchange. One of tens of thousands around the world. Well structured and written, but not notable. Searches did not turn up enough to show notability (about this interchange - there is one in another state which received some press). Was de-prodded with the following rationale: "unlike Germany, most American interchanges lack names, so the relative few that do have something special going on". Unlike other interchanges with some degree of notability, like the Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange, or the MacArthur Maze, the fact that this interchange has a name doesn't seem to convert into notability.

Keep. This massive interchange [1] is described as an "freeway as functional sculpture" in the University of California Press book L.A. Freeway, an Appreciative Essay [2][3], and the details of its construction are described in the Geologic guide to the San Bernardino Mountains [4] and in this newspaper article [5]. Sufficient sources to meet GNG as customarily applied to major US interchanges. --Arxiloxos (talk) 04:59, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep—as I noted when de-PROD-ing this, American interchanges customarily lack formal names. (The Pennsylvania Turnpike is the notable exception, because the PTC names each interchange like Germany does with their autobahns.) Because the vast majority of interchanges lack names in the US. those that do are special. As Arxiloxos notes right above, there are several sources online to establish notability. I suspect there are more sources offline to establish the requisite notability for an article. Imzadi 1979 → 10:17, 16 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename to Kellogg Interchange, Los Angeles as a search for sources brings up a similarly named junction in Wichita, Kansas that has also been in the news. There are few online sources (mostly traffic reports eg: this) and the current page is about as exciting as reading the small print on a back of a pack of Kellogg's Corn Flakes, but I am happy to believe a reasonable article could be spun out of this as experience has told me the real "meat" of this sort of article is buried in civil engineering and government transcripts.
